Summary of Receipt
Shaka brings Indrid Cold back to normal. Complexico mentions that Secret (probably not #17 of the F.C) is a Cold Elder and is presumably the being which Shaka is a proxy of. Complexico asks Cold about ‘revisiting the Apocalypse’, and Cold says that there’s another 8 due to ‘a weakness in the current design. A gear is loose’ (maybe referring to the Pocketwatch? or the Mechanism?). Shaka mentions tossing this new 8 into the Apocalypse and ‘rewinding again’, but Cold says not to. Once Cold reverts back, Shaka and Complexico discuss ‘the doll’, which has a big role to play with the CaD. Shaka mentions a ‘darker force pulling the strings’ of the doll, to which Complexico asks whether it’s the Darker (another organisation? really? or could be an Elder) or something else entirely. Shaka simply says he doesn’t need to know. Also, Cold mentions the Other Otherman and the Otherworld, though he doesn’t say anything about either.

Shaka: I can only make this work for a few moments.
Oboon: Should be more than enough time.
Shaka: Are you still recording this, by the way?
Oboon: Is that a problem, Shaka?
Shaka: Could be, depending on what our friend has to say in his lucidity.
Oboon: Of course, of course. Though that reminds me, will Secret know about this?
Shaka: ...
Oboon: I usually take your silence as a yes.
Shaka: ...
Oboon: Let me guess. Secret knows about a lot of your little side projects, huh? But he doesn't bother to tell the other Cold Elders because it's, of course, a secret.
Shaka: Our lips are sealed.
Oboon: Right. Well, then, shall we proceed with our ill-intent?
Shaka: O'tear'kes al ed omul al ed ot'jar atknas rep atikev. Mem oleic lo am’rav’lam il’ pa’jak aga ill’intent.
Zeuz: Ill intent, ill intent, ill intent, ill-prepared, ill-fated, I'll be right back. I'll see you in the morning. I-I- I- H- hi. Hi. I wasn't expecting you two.
Oboon: Yeah, sorry, the Ape-
Zeuz: No, I understand. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Shaka: It is understandable. It needs to be where it will be. Besides, I couldn't care less if that overgrown Ape gets it back or not. And Complexico didn't want to lose his prize. Though, why did you choose that as a prize?
Oboon: I keep saying it wasn't me who chose it! Well. I-I did. And didn't. The other me chose it.
Shaka: From the Apocalypse?
Oboon: Seems like it.
Zeuz: That is strange. Though, I am sure he knows something we don't. We can't all be infinite.
Oboon: Yeah, about that. I wanted to ask you, Cold. When are we revisiting the Apocalypse?
Zeuz: Soon. I think. Though I need something before we can go.
Oboon: Oh?
Zeuz: You're recording this, aren't you?
Oboon: How'd you guess, haha.
Zeuz: Well, in that case, I'll just say there is another 8.
Oboon: Another 8?
Shaka: Surely there can't be?
Zeuz: Well, maybe not the same 8. There is a weakness in the current design. A gear is loose.
Shaka: So what's the plan then? Toss this new 8 into the Apocalypse and rewind again? We would first need-
Zeuz: No, no. Nothing that drastic. I just thought we could use another 8. Or, maybe I should say an other 8. Another. Another. Other. Other. Other. Otherside. Otherworld. Otherman. Other Otherman. H- h- hello. My name is Indrid Cold. Do not be afraid.
Shaka: Satisfied?
Oboon: I mean, not entirely. But it does clear some things up.
Shaka: Speaking of clearing things up, did your other self say why the Staff was to be the prize?
Oboon: No. We don't tend to talk much. Though it seems like the doll has a pretty big role to play here, huh?
Shaka: For now. Though I can only assume the Cafe will make quick work of the plaything. There's a darker force at work pulling his strings.
Oboon: Uh, yeah. That is their whole deal. They are the Dark.
Shaka: Darker than the Dark. Though I can't say much more than that.
Oboon: Darker than the Dark? Wait, do you mean the literal Darker? Or...
Shaka: ...
Oboon: Gotcha. Not something I need to know right now. Well, thanks for the help MB.
Shaka: Always a pleasure, Game Master. See you again, in another other time and place.
